The Story of Antoni

Antoni is the Polish, Catalan, and Scandinavian form of Anthony, derived from the Roman family name Antonius. The origin may be Etruscan, though some link it to the Greek 'anthos' meaning flower. The name became widely used through Saint Anthony of Padua (1195-1231), the patron saint of lost things, and has flourished across multiple European languages in various forms.

Antoni has surged in English-speaking countries since the 2010s, partly popularized by Antoni Porowski, the food and wine expert on Netflix's Queer Eye reboot (2018-present), which introduced the name to a new international audience.

In Poland, Antoni is a deeply traditional name with strong Catholic roots tied to Saint Anthony. In Catalonia, Antoni Gaudi, the visionary architect behind the Sagrada Familia, has made the name synonymous with artistic genius.
